Kiwanis Club of Auburn – Lewiston Maine Installs New Officers

NOVEMBER 7, 2007            NEW OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

          With October 1 comes the new year, and new Kiwanis officers for 2007-08. Recently installed were: President, John Cronin; Immediate Past President, Patti Gagne; President Elect, Joline Daigle; Vice President, Mike Meservier; Secretary, Craig Phillips; Treasurer, Larry Lauze.

          Be watching for a picture of our illustrious leadership!

SPECIAL EVENTS

          President John has taken off with a bang! He conceived and organized our first Disc Golf tournament and fundraiser. We had some foursomes all lined up, donations and pledges ready, some special guests from the Life Center (a day program for mentally challenged folks) to play and accept the donations, and some Key Club players. They were all ready on October 27th. Unfortunately, John didn’t order up the weather. It RAINED! L

          John is not deterred. We will reschedule for next spring.

KEY CLUBS 

          St. Dom’s High School and Lewiston High Key Clubs are back meeting regularly. St. Dom’s meets Monday nights at 6:30. Lewiston meets Thursdays at 2:15.

          AND, with much pride on our part, Leavitt High School has a Key Club. They have been meeting informally and recruiting until now, and they are about to become official! More to come about their official kick-off as a club.

MISSING

          If you haven’t been at a meeting recently, you have been missing some great speakers, and we have been missing you. Make it a point to take a break from work on Wednesdays for lunch, at your Kiwanis Club meeting 

Thought for today: Some drink at the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.

What Is A Kiwanian?

Kiwanis Name...
The name “Kiwanis” means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.
Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!
As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!
